✨February Reading Recap✨

This month was full of swoon-worthy romance, small-town cowboys, dark fairytales, and thrilling twists! Here’s what I read in February:

📖 Hexed by Emily McIntire – A dark, magical retelling that had me hooked with its intrigue and forbidden romance. 🌊✨

📖 The Crash by Freida McFadden – An edge-of-your-seat thriller with twists I did not see coming. Suspense lovers, this one’s for you! 🚗💥

📖 Flawless, Heartless, Powerless, Reckless & Hopeless by Elsie Silver – I finally binged the entire Chestnut Springs series, and I’m OBSESSED. Give me all the cowboys, small-town drama, and spicy romance! 🤠🔥 (Powerless & Hopeless were my top faves!)

February was a 10/10 reading month, and I can’t wait to see what March brings! 📚✨

This month was a mix of murder, drama, and a full return to Prythian 🖤 📖 The Ex-Girlfriend Murder Club Went in for the chaos… stayed for the twists. Messy women, secrets, and a murder? Say less. This one was such a fun, fast-paced read and perfect if you love domestic thrillers with bite.
